Vaginal discharge is not necessarily a
precise sign of ovulation. A more precise
indicator of ovulation is a slight
increase in body temperature that is
noticeable only if you’ve measured the
body temperature every day during the
whole menstrual cycle. Another way to
predict ovulation is using an ovulation
predictor kit (OPK). OPKs detect a peak in
luteinisating hormone (LH) in the urine
that happens just before ovulation. If you
measure, body temperature you can observe
ovulation only after it hashappened. If
you use an ovulation predictor kit you may
predict ovulation several hours before it
really happens.
